Answer: common script font????
Hi Phil,
There are several script fonts that are commonly found on most PCs. Here are a few options:
To use any of these fonts in your application, you'll need to make sure they are installed on the user's computer. You can do this by either embedding the font in your application or by instructing the user to install the font separately.

If you go to http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/, you can get a list
of the fonts supplied with various products, including Windows and Office. Although there are dozens of "scripts" supplied with Windows XP SP2, for example, there is nothing that would be "script" in the sense of cursive. Office 2003, however (and probably most recent versions of Office), includes several "handwriting" fonts, including Bradley Hand (which I rather like). Depending on the effect you're going for, you might want Brush Script, Edwardian Script, Freestyle Script, French Script, Kunstler Script, Lucida Handwriting, Mistral, Monotype Corsiva, Palace Script, Script MT Bold, Vladimir Script, or any of several others that are more distinctive. For any given font, you can, from the same Web page, find a list of all the applications it is supplied with. For example, Lucida Handwriting is part of Office 97, 2000, 2003, and 2007 (XP is not mentioned) as well as Windows 98, Publisher, and a variety of other apps, so you could be pretty confident that users would have it installed. -- Suzanne S.
